Parker's Casino & Niteclub, Seattle

For many years this has been a reliable place to catch stars on their way up, their way down, in their twilight years or when they just agree to play the venue. Ray Charles, B.B. King and Blue Oyster Cult have all played here. There is a full bar and a dance floor, but this is also a sports bar. And because it is just across the Seattle city limit line, it is now a casino with blackjack, progressive blackjack and Chinese poker.
